Favorite Resources for Guided Math Instruction

Happy spring everyone!!

I feel like it's at this point in the school year when we are feeling drained, tired, and pretty uninspired.  Often times our students are feeling the same way.  And yet, we still have content to cover, ideas to explore, and concepts to master.

Sometimes we just need a fresh view on something or an idea to get us going.  In that spirit, I present to you some of our favorite websites for lessons and inspiration:

• K-5 Math Teaching Resources ~ Organized by grade level and standard; many activities are free! They are high quality, engaging, and promote discussions among students. This is a go-to for the Explore and Play with Someone zones!
• Daily Routines from Teach at the Speed of Learning ~ These are developed by math teachers and are awesome to use for your warm up time!  Olivia and I use the "Which One Doesn't Belong" every morning (see her blog post here).
• GFletchy ~ Awesome lesson resources and learning progressions from Grahm Fletchy.  We especially love the learning progression videos!
• The Recovering Traditionalist ~ Amazing number sense development ideas and resources

And, of course, don't forget all the resources we have curated for you right here on our website! The Resources page has all of our go-to resources, organized by zone!  Check out and find something you love!

I hope you find some inspiration here! And don't hesitate to contact us if you need more ideas!

Looking forward to summer,
Christi
